Very Happy Stay
my wife and i had a very good stay at the steadind Highland glen Lodge. We stayed for one night. The room was very nice and the all important. It was clean. We had our evening meal in the restaurant and were very happy with the meal. And at breakfast sheila was very accommodating with us a we didn't want a full breakfast she made us a roll on sausage and bacon rolls. I would not hesitate to book this again.

A really nice rural small hotel set back from the road. Easy to find as there was a large sign on the roadside. Generously sized room with twin beds. The Internet/WiFi was excellent. Tea and coffee facilities in our room. Superb breakfast.

The property is a bit hard to find . It is quite old but in a good state of repair. Might appeal to people that go for the rustic feel. The hostess was very courteous and the food both breakfast & dinner were very good .

Country Comfort
Comfy B&B setting in the middle of nowhere! (The owner told me to stress that). Spacious rooms with everything you need. Water pressure not so great, but it got the job done. Home cooked meals were delicious, bar was great! Very homey, and VERY quiet!

It is important to know that this B&B is not in Inverness. It is 26 miles away in the country and one must have a car as there is no public transportation. The accommodations are rustic but comfortable. The service is excellent as is the food. The proprietress went out of her way to accommodate our early morning departures with a wonderful packed breakfast. This is not the place to stay if your objective is to see Inverness but very nice for a break out in nature

Super friendly staff. Massive room.
The staff at this B and B were fantastic. Extremely helpful in both the accommodation and available tourist sights in the area. The Building is currently going through renovations to improve the whole of the site. The room was very clean. and any feedback was welcomed. Having the Restaurant and bar facilities was an added bonus with decent prices.

Our host was wonderful, very friendly and gave great advice on places to see. The room was a nice size and comfortable too. There was a strange smell in the bathroom however during our stay although it looked very clean. The dinner was quite average and if we had not been so tired we would not have stayed in for it but traveled elsewhere.

The meals were good, as was the pub/dining room. However the bedrooms did not feel clean, particularly the bedding . I have stopped here because you said I would only have to answer 4 questions. You are not being honest and I will not complete any more reviews for you.

we are very sorry and shocked that you felt the room was not clean as we scrupulously clean each room to the highest of standards. As for location we make it clear that we are in a rural area in one of the most scenic Glens in Scotland perhaps the next time you book accommodation you should use a map

Very cozy little B&B
Just a few miles from Loch Ness, this cute little B&B is just what I was looking for. The room was very spacious and cute. They provided tea/coffee in your room and a full breakfast. Dinner is available in the pub for a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and go out of their way to help you with whatever you need. Parking is available in the lot outside and it is very easy to get to. I enjoyed my stay very much and would definitely recommend giving it a try!

Great lodge on the outskirts of Inverness
What a great experience at the Steading Country Inn! Our host waited up for us after we got in late from a flight delay. They also gave us a breakfast to go since we arrived late and we were leaving very early in the morning. The room was clean and great and we felt safe and secluded. Wi-fi signal was excellent!

Homely Inn with great service
The Inn is quite remote along a countryside road but this is not a bad thing as the countryside journey is beautiful and gives a great chance to drive right alongside Loch Ness before arriving at the destination. My wife and myself were welcomed by Sheila who was very friendly and showed us to our room. The room was very clean and comfortable with a modern shower and bathroom. We had a very peaceful night's sleep and in the morning Sheila prepared a full English breakfast which was delicious and a great start to the day ahead. For the price, this is an excellent place to stay and we would have no hesitation to stay here again when visiting Inverness and want to see more of Loch Ness

A comfy bed and great food
Spent 2 nights in mid August. we enjoyed it very much, mostly because of Sheila who was very helpful and a great cook! The decor of the room was hmmm. ..eclectic ... but the bed was good and everything was spotless and very clean. On top of breakfast (delicious) we also had dinner both nights in the cosy restaurant, everything homemade and absolutely perfect. Would stay there again if in this area.

Hotel/pub per favorire calma e serenità
Questo hotel si trova a 15 minuti di percorrenza con l'auto da Drumnadrochit. È abbastanza facile da ricordare la posizione tenendo in conto che Drumnadrochit è un piccolo borgo. Il parcheggio è abbastanza ampio ed è condiviso con il pub (proprietà dell'hotel). La zona è rurale ed estramente tranquilla. La camera era pulita ed il servizio attento. La stanza era abbastanza spaziosa, così come il bagno. Il letto molto comodo. I termosifoni ed il riscaldamento funzionavano egregiamente. La ricezione del wi-fi era ottima. La televisione era piccola ma piena di canali. Era presente un bollitore con accanto una riserva di te, caffè solubile, latte, zucchero e due merendine al cioccolato gratis. Non era presente frigo. La colazione è con servizio al tavolo, cucina tipica scozzese, i piatti sono sostanziosi. Il prezzo mi è parso un po' altino per gli standard scozzesi, ma non per gli standard della zona di loch Ness. Se tornerò in questa zona è probabile che prenoti in questo hotel.
